2017 Ford F-150 Raptor Initial Testing Completed.

I just hope they don't take the Porsche approach to options: "Oh, you want power seats? That'll be $8,000."

I priced a Porsche out one time and I'm pretty sure they wanted $6,500 for color matched seat belts.

there should be an option for a v8 I don't trust the ecoboost at all to take me to the middle of the desert while thrashing on it.

In two (of three) of their "Cool Pics", they are stuck. Great PR!

Yeah it all depends on what is offered and how it's packaged. $4k or $5k over base price to have a loaded truck is a no-brainer.

Porsche is the worst. Their base MSRP is for a stripped shell of a car and you have to fill it up with expensive options to make it reasonably road worthy. However, on the other hand, if you intentionally want a stripped car they charge you double and call it a GT3 RS.

Stripped, but with a ridiculous motor.

But you're absolutely right. The cars are literally stripped. If you're buying anything with a Porsche logo, you shouldn't have to pay for power seats, auto dimming mirrors, or HD radio.

Then again, this is the same company that charges $5000 for GT Silver Metallic on the 911 and $20,000 for the exact same paint color on the 918.

rest assured the 50k 2017 Raptor won't have any frills. the current fx4 trucks are the same way. I work with guy who just bought a 15 the sticker was 49,503.. no leather. no HID lamps ect. I saw one the other night was an FX4 had leather no HID lamps and only 18" wheels sticker was 60,216.

I hope I am wrong but I don't forsee a 17 Raptor coming in for much less than 60k plus.

Ha stupid options. When I got my truck I went for basic shit, seat heat, trailer brake and rear view camera. No leaky sunroof or fidgety nav to deal with

I almost went with a 800A Oxford White Raptor for 49k. I figured I could live without some of the Raptor frills but the stealership almost bragged about how they are only asking 5k over sticker...

At the time almost all CA dealers had a ridiculous markup and the one or two used Raptor's in my area (2012's wanted 58k and they had 20,000 miles on them) when I got lucky and stumbled on my '13 with 11k on it for 52k.

Come 2019 I hope Ford will have flooded the market with Gen2's and it will be a buyers market because one thing for sure the Gen2 will cost a lot more than the Gen1.

I'll buy a 2020 through AAFES again. Steal that one to.
